- Kazakhstan: Russian regime launches first rocket from repaired Baikonur launch pad
Source: Reuters
“Russia launched a Soyuz rocket from a repaired launch pad at its Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Sunday, restoring its capability to fly to the International Space Station for the first time since the launch pad was damaged last year. At 1200 GMT, a Soyuz-2.1a rocket carrying the Progress MS-33 cargo spacecraft lifted off and was placed into orbit, Russia’s space agency said. The spacecraft is expected to dock with the International Space Station on March 24. The launch pad had been out of commission since it was badly damaged in November when a Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft with two Russian cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut on board blasted off. No one was hurt and the crew safely reached the space station, but the incident deprived Russia of its sole means of sending crew or cargo back to the ISS for months.” (03/22/26)

“The Trump administration violated the Constitution when it sought to restrict press access to the Pentagon and limit what reporters could cover, a federal judge ruled Friday. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman granted a request from The New York Times to void the Pentagon’s press credential policy on grounds it violated the First and Fifth Amendment, rejecting the government’s argument that the restrictions were needed to prevent the disclosure of classified information. … The ruling, which comes as journalists around the world seek information about the war in Iran, rolls back a highly aggressive attack on press freedom implemented last year by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host who has had a strained relationship with the media.” (03/20/26)

“Tens of of thousands of people rallied in the Czech capital, Prague, on Saturday to oppose the policies of Prime Minister Andrej Babis and his coalition government, accusing it of what they called ‘arrogance of power.’ Organizers from the Million Moments for Democracy movement estimated that more than 200,000 people filled the Letna plain, though that figure has not been independently verified. The demonstrators accused Babis of steering the country away from democratic values and aligning with the pro-Russia policies of Hungary and Slovakia. … In addition to concerns over public media, state institutions, and foreign policy, demonstrators also warned against draft legislation they say resembles Russian-style restrictions on civil society.” (03/21/26)

“Over 1,000 Detroit moms rushed to a ‘no-strings-attached’ cash aid program tailored to new and expectant mothers, the city’s mayor announced on Tuesday. ‘Seeing more than 1,000 Detroit mothers enrolling so quickly tells you everything: families are ready, and Detroit is delivering,’ Mayor Mary Sheffield said in a written statement. Detroit officials distributed around $1 million to more than 1,000 mothers as part of the city’s Rx Kids program, which launched the application process on Feb. 9. The cash assistance program is a statewide initiative that’s intended to issue $1,500 cash to new and expectant mothers in the Motor City as well as $500 per month after a child’s birth for at least six months. The program is considered the largest cash aid program for prenatal and infant care in the country.” (03/22/26)

But Robicheau can’t help feeling anxious about her future and whether she will be able to continue working in a public school while being visibly Muslim in Quebec.

“The Supreme Court on Friday revived a lawsuit from an evangelical Christian barred from demonstrating in Mississippi after authorities say he shouted insults at people over a loudspeaker. The high court unanimously ruled in the case of Gabriel Olivier, who says his religious and free speech rights were violated when he was arrested for refusing to move his preaching away from a suburban amphitheater. The city said he had shouted insults like ‘whores,’ ‘Jezebel’ and ‘nasty’ at people, sometimes holding signs showing aborted fetuses. Olivier wanted to challenge the law as an unconstitutional restriction on free speech, but lower courts stopped him from suing because he’d been convicted of breaking it. A Supreme Court case from the 1990s found people can’t use civil lawsuits to undermine criminal convictions. But the justices found that doesn’t stop Olivier from suing because he only wants to block future enforcement.” (03/20/26)

The DOD has effectively declared both Iran and Anthropic to be enemies of America, and though the weapons the DOD is using in each conflict differ dramatically — explosive missiles versus bureaucratic legal statutes — the department has made clear in both cases that its objective is to severely damage, if not totally destroy, the enemy. … Why this fight started and how the government has chosen to wage it are two separate questions, and conflating them is one of the major mistakes most coverage of this conflict has made.” (03/21/26)

Source: Garrison Center
by Thomas L Knapp“The war on Iran is temporarily producing the same result that actual US ‘energy independence’ — usually promoted as proposed autarky in the production/sale of oil — would deliver without ‘armies crossing borders.’ Almost all oil and gas produced in the US comes from ‘tight formation production’ — horizontally drilled wells and hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’) to extract the stuff from shale . That’s more expensive than just drilling a vertical well and pumping the black gold out, as is done in the Middle East. That’s a ‘competitive disadvantage’ for US oil companies. The only way for US oil production to be profitable is for the price per barrel to be kept artificially high through ‘protectionist’ measures … or war. The US producers can only profit by increasing YOUR costs. At the level of the individual American, on the other hand, a certain amount of ‘energy independence’ — autarky! — makes a good deal of sense.” (03/21/26)

While some of the harms caused to natives are specific to the policies of this administration, many are inherent in the very nature of exclusion and deportation, and they occur even under more conventional presidents. The ultimate solution is to end all or most immigration restrictions, or at least to severely curb them.” (903/20/26)

This is a dispute, in other words, between Canaanites who remained — from whom the Palestinian Muslims and Christians descended — and the Canaanites who willingly departed — from whom the Ashkenazi Jews descended. … For both Jewish and Christian Zionists, the alleged Roman exile of the Jews from Judea in the first century CE is a key part of the Zionist property claim, on behalf of all Jews the world over, to the land of Israel.

But Iran isn’t in danger of falling apart. It isn’t Afghanistan or Iraq, modern confections of mutually antagonistic groups. Rather, it has a natural coherence based on the supremacy of the Persian language; its geographically logical homeland on the Persian plateau, ringed by seas and mountains; and the Shia Islam to which most Iranians adhere. For centuries, indeed, these strengths have enabled Iran to survive invasions, violent changes of dynasty, famines, tribal uprisings, regicides and years of meddling by imperial Britain and Russia — not to mention the 1979 revolution itself. They will offset the centrifugal forces that Trump seems intent on stimulating. For the true danger to Iran is not disintegration, but implosion.” (03/21/26)

The symbols of the old regime are gone. The suffocating omnipresence of the Assad state has receded. Cafes have reopened, checkpoints have thinned and Syrians speak more freely. Yes, there have been killings of members of the Druze and the formerly dominant Alawite minorities, which the government denies direct involvement in.
